But she said Monday that the emotional events of the last few weeks have caused her to miss too much training time.
"That means I'm not prepared either emotionally or physically to skate well at these championships and challenge for the podium," Rochette said in a statement. "Whenever I compete I want to give my best to the fans and to respect my competitive nature of the sport.
"I just would not be able to do that for either the fans or myself next week."
